Handle-style note: The current kit uses the 5-5/8-inch K357/K358 handles for every year selection. This is the later-style handle size; compare it with the existing handles and your restoration requirements on a 1970-1975 Camaro. The year dropdown changes the lock set, not the supplied handle length.
Choose your lock configuration: Match the car's year and the door-lock cylinder style currently installed. Long/short lock descriptions refer to the lock configuration, not the exterior handle length.

Worn handle pivots, loose linkage connections, deteriorated gaskets and aging lock cylinders can make exterior door operation less consistent. This package groups the related handle and lock components for servicing both doors and the trunk during a Camaro restoration or exterior refresh.
The handles have a polished-chrome appearance. The kit is sold as new reproduction components, with the selected year-specific lock configuration. Compare handle size, lock-cylinder length, retaining features and linkage connections with the car before final installation. Photos show the general package; select the lock option for your Camaro.
Protect the painted surfaces and remove the interior door trim as needed to access the handle and lock attachments. Compare each replacement part with the corresponding original, keeping the left- and right-hand handle rods correctly identified. Position the new gaskets evenly and secure the supplied rods and retainers without forcing the linkage.
Inspect the latch and linkage for binding, then operate both handles and check every lock with the supplied keys before reinstalling the door trim. Check the trunk lock and extension-rod engagement before closing the trunk. During paint work, allow the finish to cure before final assembly and avoid overtightening the handle attachments.
Which lock option should I choose?
Select the Camaro year group and compare the door-lock cylinder style with the parts on your car. Replacement doors or previously changed locks can affect the correct choice.
Does changing the year option change the handle length?
The listed package uses the same 5-5/8-inch K357 and K358 handle style across its options. The dropdown selects the lock set. Compare the handle length and mounting arrangement before ordering, especially for an early-year restoration.
Are both exterior handles and their linkage included?
Yes. The package supplies left- and right-hand exterior handles, two housing gaskets, two connecting rods, their connecting clips and four handle retaining nuts.
Does the package cover both door locks and the trunk lock?
Yes. The selected lock set supplies two door cylinders, one trunk cylinder and matched keys, together with the listed lock gaskets, retainers, linkage clips and trunk extension rod.
When should the kit be installed during a repaint?
Inspect and test-fit the parts before final assembly. Install the handles, locks and gaskets after the finish has cured, then check both handles and all three locks before closing up the doors.
